Magnets & Electromagnets

 (11 product groups)

Commonly used in cutting, milling, grinding, and welding operations, workholding magnets help increase production efficiency and precision. Compared to manual clamps, magnets require minimal clamping time, resulting in faster set-up and feed rates. Plus, they eliminate vibration or chatter and allow for more consistent clamping. We offer permanent magnets in a broad range of holding forces, shapes, and materials such as alnico, ceramic, neodymium, and rare earth. We also provide electromagnets, also known as temporary magnets. They use a controlled electrical current to control the strength of the magnetic field and have an on-command release. With their variable strength and on-off capability, electromagnets are ideal for industrial lifting applications. Our line of magnetic welding squares and angles assist welders with fast set-up and accurate holding of steel sheet stock, plates, and tubing. Models with on-off technology are available to make work faster and easier. We also carry an assortment of magnetic assemblies for many industrial uses.

Disc & Cylindrical Magnets

Reid Supply offers disc and cylindrical magnets primarily in Neodymium, Alnico and Ceramic models. Neodymium magnets are powerful, yet compact. Alnico magnets are ideal for high heat applications and cermanic magnets are generally the most economical. Applications are abundant: fixtures, jigs, panel mounts, end of retrieving tools, catches/latches, linear actuators, sensing, gyroscopes, flow meters, pacemakers, etc.

Cup & Hook Magnets

Cup & Hook Magnets are low profile magnets that are ideal for holding steel doors, hanging signs and lights, mounting antennas, retrieving steel items from tanks, vats, bins and lakes, holding traps in place and many other industrial uses.

Button Magnets

Button magnets offer good corrosion resistance and can be used in welding workshops and as mounting aids for precision accessories.

Rotor Magnets

Rotor magnets are an essential part on the electromagnetic and electromechanical applications that drive much of the industrial manufacturing. These magnets are made of Alinico and are offered in 4 and 6 poles.

Bridge Magnets

These magnets offer good corrosion resistance and can be used in welding workshops and as mounting aids for precision accessories.

Horseshoe Magnets

These magnets offer good corrosion resistance and can be used in welding workshops and as mounting aids for precision accessories.

Block Magnets

Due to their tremendously high energy level, rare earth magnets are ideal for miniature applications. Popular applications include wind generation, electric motors, packaging, scientific experiments, design and display.

Magnetic Assemblies

These plates are grooved to be able to hold round parts as well. The plates are also notched for holding parts above base of vise. Smooth on back side. They are accurately machined, hardened and ground. Constructed of plates or channels with magnets sandwiched in between. Ideal for holding heavy parts. Effective holding against shear force.

Rectangular Electromagnets

Rectabngular Electromagnets use a controlled electrical current to control the strength of the magnetic field. These plug-in electromagnets have controlled holding power and on command release.

Cylindrical Electromagnets

Cylindrical Electromagnets use a controlled electrical current to control the strength of the magnetic field. These plug-in electromagnets have controlled holding power and on command release.

Standard Welding Squares

Magnetic Welding Squares are ideal for welders that need fast set-up and accurate holding of steel sheet stock, plate, and tubing. Welding Squares are equipped with through holes for easy mounting.
